Balam Rex magnus and terribilis: prodit tribus capitibus, primo tauri, altero hominis, tertio arietis: cauda adhæc serpentina, oculis flammeis, equitans in urso fortissimo, and accipitrem in manu portans. Raucam edit vocem: perfectè respondet de præteritis, præsentibus and futuris: reddit hominem and invisibilem and prudentem. Quadraginta legionibus præsidet, and fuit ex ordine dominationum.

Balam - Demon and Spirit of Solomon

From the “Dictionnaire Infernal” (edition of 1863 ) Written by Jacques Auguste Simon Collin de Plancy

Balan, who commands 40 legions, is presented with a serpent’s tail, eyes that shoot fire, and three heads: a bull, a man, and a ram. He is usually shown carrying a sparrowhawk on his wrist and riding nude and horned upon a bear. His voice is hoarse and harsh. Balan can tell of past/present/future events, teaches cunning, finesse, and the easy way to see without being seen. He was once in the heavenly order.

Original Text :

Balan, roi grand et terrible dans les enfers.

Il a quelquefois trois tĂ´les : celle d’un taureau, celle d’un homme, celle d’un bĂ©lier. Joignez Ă  cela une queue de serpent et des yeux qui jettent de la flamme. Mais plus ordinairement il se montre Ă  cheval, nu et cornu, sur un ours, et porte un Ă©pervier au poing. Sa voix est rauque et violente. Il rĂ©pond sur le passĂ©, le prĂ©sent et l’avenir. — Ce dĂ©mon, qui Ă©tait autrefois del’ordre des dominations, et qui commande aujourd’hui quarante lĂ©gions infernales, enseigne les ruses, la finesse et le moyen commode devoir sans ĂŞtre vu.
